About

Mission of Burma was an American post-punk band from Boston, Massachusetts. The group formed in 1979 with Roger Miller on guitar, Clint Conley on bass, Peter Prescott on drums, and Martin Swope contributing audiotape manipulation and acting as the band’s sound engineer. In this initial lineup, Miller, Conley, and Prescott all shared singing and songwriting duties.

In their early years the band's recordings were all released on the small Boston-based record label Ace of Hearts. Despite their initial success in the growing independent music circuit, Mission of Burma disbanded in 1983 due to Miller's development of tinnitus caused by the loud volume of the band's live performances. In its original lineup, the band released only two singles, an EP, and one LP, titled Vs.

Mission of Burma reformed in 2002, with Bob Weston replacing Swope. The band released four more albums—ONoffON, The Obliterati, The Sound the Speed the Light, and Unsound—before it was revealed in June 2020 that they had amicably disbanded.

Mission of Burma est un groupe de post-punk américain, originaire de Boston, dans le Massachusetts. Il est composé du guitariste Roger Miller, qui avait fait ses armes dans plusieurs groupes dont l'avant-gardiste Sproton Layer, du bassiste Clint Conley et du batteur Peter Prescott, avec Bob Weston (à l'origine Martin Swope) comme ingénieur du son et à la manipulation des bandes magnétiques. Ils furent tout d'abord actifs entre 1979 et 1983, puis se reforment en 2002. Miller, Conley et Prescott se partagent le chant et la composition des chansons, le travail de Miller restant de façon générale prédominant.
